Super-hard precious stones are forever

Diamonds are forever, unless you’re on Saturn or Jupiter. Loads of the
super-hard precious stones may be floating among the gas giants’ fluid
layers and melted into liquid further into their depths, say a pair of
planetary scientists.

It'd be nice to think this was a one-off, but apparently at Science Now, you can't do The Science without a little of The Stupid. Crsly!I'd weep for the planet, but on the bright side, we're not overrun by intergalactic prospectors.
